Arizona public schools are facing major budget cuts as Kelly Townsend refuses to take action for teachers and students
Arizona public schools face a possible $1.2 billion in budget cuts if the State Legislature doesn’t take action by March 1, with Republicans like AZ-06 candidate Kelly Townsend stonewalling action to support teachers and students in the State Senate. If “catastrophic” budget cuts are made, schools might be forced to increase class sizes, end the school year early or cut extracurricular activities – which could have devastating effects for students and working parents. Townsend has planted her flag firmly in opposition to Arizona’s students, pledging to vote against raising the school spending cap and risk “catastrophic” cuts. Meanwhile, her primary opponent Juan Ciscomani has stayed silent. Does Juan Ciscomani stand with his primary opponent Kelly Townsend? Or does he stand with Arizona parents, students, and teachers?DCCC Spokesperson Monica Robinson
“The clock is ticking. Arizonans deserve to know if Juan Ciscomani supports defunding schools, or if he stands with parents and students.”
